It should have been called Star Trek Redux because it has so many paradoxes with respect to the other series and movies. Lousy premise but well told which is too bad because the acting was great. Quinto was amazing as Spock and Urban nailed McCoy. It had a lot potential but they blew it.

I also have a problem with a mining vessel having enough fire power to destroy 47 Klingon warships and 7 Federation cruisers. I know it comes from the future but not that far as Spock is not that old What a waste of great acting.

Always a great watch. One of the best, if not the best horror movie imho.ColCarnage wrote:

9/10 I enjoyed the plot, the fail Norwegian in the beginning of it, and most importantly the insanely special effects.

It takes place a bit after the Next Generation films, so that's quite a jump fowards, and his mining ship is infested with Borg technology, which might account for all the extra firepower.

Last I checked time travel does not work that way in Star Trek. The past can be changed by a future that doesn't exist anymore.Stubbee wrote:

the most obvious paradox is the destruction of the planet Vulcan whose scientists help create future Spock's ship and presumably the means to stop the supernova. So now the supernova is going to happen but no Spock in funky twirling ship to fail at imploding the supernova thus incurring the wrath of the indestructible super dreadnought mining ship. thus no black hole event horizon to send back mining ship to kill Kirk's father yadayadayada.
Time travel/ alternate reality stories always fuck up a series/movie. I think of these stories as 'jumping the shark' <---google it.

Wolverine. While still having some cool action and what not, it didn't live up to the hype tbh. 6.5-7/10.

As far as I can tell it just doesn't work like that. In the film, everything takes place after everything that happened before. Spoiler (highlight to read):Stubbee wrote:

Like I said it should have been called Star Trek redux. If they continue with this time line nothing will be the same. FUCK I HATE TIME TRAVEL STORIES.Spidery_Yoda wrote:

Vulcan was destroyed. Yeah. It wasn't in the original stuff, but that happened before all this occured. Everything that happened before this film was preserved as 'history'. and then the film happened. It continues onwards, not rewrites history.
No paradoxes there. Just a differen't way of looking at the time travel.
